Digital Badge Installation Guide

Introduction

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has partnered with Yoshki Ltd to develop a secure digital badge using the Yoshki Digital Smart Logo service.

The SRA digital badge will allow members of the public to easily identify that a website they are visiting belongs to a genuine SRA regulated firm. It will also provide visitors with easy access to information on the protections the firms’ regulated status provides to them.

Thanks to the software through which the badge is provided, only SRA regulated firms can use the digital badge.

By using the digital badge, the SRA can help the public make more informed choices and protect the online identity of firms.

Website Verification

Yoshki’s website validation technology is a simple but important feature for the SRA Digital badge.

It ensures that the badge will only display on websites which are registered as belonging to regulated firms.

To prove to website visitors that the badge is genuine and your right to use it is current, a date field is included within the design, which will automatically update every day.

When someone clicks on the badge, they will be seamlessly redirected to SRA-hosted information confirming that the site belongs to a regulated firm, what this means, and what protections they benefit from when using a regulated provider.

Adding the SRA Digital badge to your website

Adding the SRA Digital badge to your website is a simple and quick process.

The badge is available in three different colour variations, as well as in Welsh. You are free to use whichever design suits your needs the best.

Once you have chosen the badge you wish to use, simply copy the associated HTML snippet and provide this to whoever administers your website. They can then paste this directly into whatever software is used to manage your site.

The default size of the SRA Digital Badge has been set at 275px wide by 163px high.
